Kim Kardashian has no problem getting her hands on rare designer pumps and right-off-the-runway styles, but these snakeskin Louboutins are truly a puzzle. Here’s Kim, leaving her NYC apartment in Christian Louboutin Bis Un Bout Snakeskin Pumps. We can’t find any evidence that these shoes actually exist, aside from the fact that they’ve magically appeared on Kim’s feet. While we investigate further, you can shop a broad selection of readily available Louboutins.

There are several possible explanations for the existence of these snakeskin pumps. Kim might’ve ordered these custom, or they could’ve been a sample sent to her by the brand in seasons past that was never produced for the public. It’s also possible that the Bis Un Bout, which is not currently produced by CL, is coming back to the brand’s collection in the near future, and this is a sample of a coming style. We’ll be keeping our ear to the ground.

Spoiler alert: there isn’t a single pair of Christian Louboutins in this entire retrospective. OrManolo Blahniks. Or Casadeis. (I’ll pause here to allow you some time to gather your jaw up off the floor.) Granted, these are really the best celeb shoe moments since June, so this list is a little heavier on boots, closed toes, and Timbs, and sorely lacking in the sandal department.

While you may be shocked that some of our most beloved brands didn’t actually make the cut, I think you’ll agree our picks represent some of the most progressive and on-point shoe looks of seasons past and present.
